NEWBURGH – U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney will be in the region Monday to announce federal legislation that would create paid family and medical leave.

The Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act would establish a national paid family and medical leave insurance program, ensuring that American workers would no longer have to choose between a paycheck and caring for themselves or a family member.

The pair will make the announcement at the Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center in Newburgh.
